I didn’t see any of the Sweden v Holland game as a combination of a long day at the beach, a tankard or two of alcohol and my daughter’s insistence on renting SWAT (which has the distinction of being the film that sent me to sleep the quickest – less than 10 minutes in) had me taking the earliest night I’ve had in years.
Aston Villa kept up their proud penalty record at these championships as it was Olaf Mellberg who missed before Arjen Robben scored for the Dutch to see them through. So that ends Arsenal’s interests in the finals. My money’s on the Czechs now.
Not much else going on – Arsenal Mania has some nice new images of the new kit for the coming season (is it just me or is the default text tiny?). The home one is quite nice, but the away one is too fucking blue for us to win anything in it. It is probably the nicest blue kit I’ve ever seen for us, but that’s like saying that steaming turd my dog just did is the most fragrant and lovely steaming turd he’s ever produced.
Right, tennis. Later.
